good to hear it wasn't anything serious...you have to wonder what caused the fainting spell, but i did mention earlier he just could have been nervous.--Only when the last tree is cut, only when the last river is polluted, only when the last fish is caught, will they realise that you can't eat money - Native American proverb

That's what I was thinking -- the exertion of the game along with a poor (or no) pre-game meal, or dehydration.--The thoughts expressed in the above post are those of the poster, and can only be attributed to his state of mind at the time of posting.Join Team Helix

Is it just me.. I dont see that as a hit from behind... and I really dont see it as dirty.. the puck was about a foot from him

I see it as a blind side hit as Hjalmarsson came in from about 5 o'clock and the puck hadn't got to Pommenville yet, let alone having control of it. He took three at least three strides in the replay, then glided in for about the last 20 feet and planted himself right into Pommenville's numbers, who was completely defenseless against the move.--The thoughts expressed in the above post are those of the poster, and can only be attributed to his state of mind at the time of posting.Join Team Helix

i agree with the blindside hit, but the rule book only covers blind side hits to the head...this was surely interference as he didn't have the puck, but i don't know if you can really go much more than that...it wasn't from behind (4-5 o clock like you said)...Pommenville's problem was he didn't brace himself for the hit, which is odd, because he looked to see who was coming right before he was hit.--Only when the last tree is cut, only when the last river is polluted, only when the last fish is caught, will they realise that you can't eat money - Native American proverb

here's the problem though...you make a gesture about someone being a cocksucker and you get a 2 game suspension...you put a guy out (possibly a couple of months) with a "dirty hit", and you get the same penalty...that isn't right.--Only when the last tree is cut, only when the last river is polluted, only when the last fish is caught, will they realise that you can't eat money - Native American proverb
